Mousasi by OMG!

Carano will win, unless cyborg lands a haymaker and tkos her, carano is much more technical with the stand up.

As good as Carano is I can't help but feel that Cyborg is going to crush her like a delicate flower

Why have I canceled my fucking Showtime subscription!

Bollocks. Maybe Hooters are showing this too (no pun intended)

I think that the biggest thing the Cyborg/Carano fight needs to have is a decent fight from both of them, preferably with a flashy ending like TKO or leglock as stated previously.

If either one shows massive holes in her game, it'll be a failure for women's MMA. It ain't right (there's plenty of men in pro MMA with major holes in their game), but it's the way it is. If it's lopsided due to a major deficiency, people will discount the whole thing.

I hope Gina wins just because Gina will always be a bigger star than Cyborg and then Kat can beat her and steal all her fans :)

I don't know how good of a grappler Cyborg is, but Carano is definitely much more technical on the feet (Cyborg's striking blows, other than her being really aggressive). I don't really have any particular leanings on who will win, though.

I wish I had showtime due to this card. I think a lot of the hype I've heard about Carano has been nothing but fluff. From what I've seen of Cyborg is that she fights alike Wanderlei Silva with wild hooks. I'd like the more technical fighter to win though. Babalu is a monster and i hope he wins. I'd like to see Jesse Taylor make up for his disgusting fight in the UFC but only time will tell. Those are the only fights that i know of. I am surethe others will be good though.

Hey Kid. If you or Kat were to fight Gina or Cyborg. Which opponent would you rather fight?

They both out weigh me by 50lbs, so I'd rather not fight either. If Gina were my size I'd rather fight her just because she's more "composed" than Cyborg and it'd be a cleaner fight. I think Cyborg would probably be harder to deal with since she's more ferocious. But like I said, this is all from a striker's stand point (and I think both of them are fairly mediocre strikers).

I think Santos would give Kat more of a war than Carano, so I would kind of rather see the two of them fight, but only by a little.
